So I had a major moment of glory this evening in my quest to move some of my other blogs to Movable Type 4.1.
Some of them are subdomains of other sites and others have their own domains.
Well it is indeed a pain in the ass to publish outside of one's main domain and yet remember every minute detail of the history of various blogs going back almost 8 years now.
That's what part of my trouble was.
If I had started from a blank slate, with no content, it'd be easy. However, because there's so much historical baggage in content and permissions and restrictions, things are bound to get f'd up.
And that's exactly what's been happening.
Now, with this issue resolved, I can go about redoing Plastic Crack.
It'll take a while for me to reimplement my TF-based theme and I'll have to use a shitty default for a bit but there's a lot to be improved with upgrading.
Livejournal users and Open ID users will automatically authenticate if they so choose. Commenters can actually register interally at the site to comment.
And... the best part... in preparation for the eventual sell off of crack... I can convert the my collection data pages to ones that can be commented on!
So. Things'll be a bit fugly here for a bit.
But the infrastructure benefits? Oh la la!
I still seem to get Forbidden error messages when clicking through to the posts from my RSS reader (Google). Not sure what this problem is but it's there. I get Forbidden until I tell the address bar to "go" again.
